PREFACE 


V 

. rV 

The purpose of the course on Military Subjects and Situations 
is to teach a basic working knowledge of military terms with maximum 
realism. Dialogues on typical military situations have been written 
as the medium for the introduction of military terms. Wherever pos¬ 
sible these terms have been repeated in subsequent dialogues in order 
to more firmly implant them in the minds of the students. Personnel 
utilizing this text are urged to learn the military terms in context 
and in association with definite situations. 

The Dialogues follow the organization of ILLUSTRATED MILITARY 
SITUATIONS, ALS, May 195^ and NARRATION TO ACCOMPANY "ILLUSTRATED 
MILITARY SITUATIONS," Academic Training Bulletin No 11, 16 August 1955. 
It was endeavored to include all the 559 terms of MILITARY TERMINOLOGY 
WORD LIST, ALS, August 1955» hut 95 terms could not be worked into the 
Dialogues. These are listed with Japanese equivalents as Additional 
Vocabulary following the Japanese to English and English to Japanese 
Glossaries at the end of the text. In addition, 90 United States Army 
Terms- as defined in SR 320-5-1, November 1953 are included for the con¬ 
venience of personnel using the text.

Do officers conduct basic training? 


Yes, but most of the training is done by non-commissioned 
officers. 

Marching looks simple. 


Yes, but facing - right face, left face, and about face - is 
more difficult. 


Do troops have to stand at attention all the time? 


No, even in formation, they can be at ease. 


Are commands always given orally? 


No, there are times when commands are given by arm and hand 
signals. 

Marching on maneuvers must be fun. 


That's not so. Field packs get heavy right away and when it's 
hot and dusty, it's terrible. 


However, field training must be good for the troops.

Illustrated Military Situations 4, DRILL WITH WEAPONS, FIRING 


1. q. What fire adjustments must a gunner make? 

A. Oh, he must adjust angle of traverse, and adjust elevation to 
control the range. 

2. Q. Is there an instrument to aid fire adjustment? 

A. Yes, the range finder. 

3. q. Does one get enough data from the range finder alone to enable 

hitting the target? 

A. No, by actual fire, a target is bracketted and fire adjusted. 

4. q. What if you can’t see the target? 

A. Aiming points are established. Generally, most of the infor¬ 
mation is supplied by fire control units. 

5. q. I guess there are different fire plans and fire distributions. 

A. Definitely, depending upon the terrain and tactics of the 
moment. In defensive fire, there is final protective fire. 

In offensive fire, there is the barrage before attack.

Illustrated Military Situations 6, BEATIHG- OF? AN ENEMY ATTACK, 

THE ATTACK 


1. Q. How do you plan defenses against attacks? 


A. A careful study of operation maps, bearing in mind avenues of 
approach, is important. 


2. Q. Is it possible to differentiate between reconnaissance in force 
and a feint? 


A. Sometimes you can. The amount of preparatory fire by enemy 
artillery is an indication. A reconnaissance in force would 
not be preceded by too much fire. 


3. Q. What are frontal attacks spearheaded by? 


A. Again, the terrain governs this. In some cases, it is tanks, 
in others, engineer units. 


4. Q. Engineers? 


A. Why sure J Bridges or pontons are needed for rivers. Mines 
have to be neutralized and wire entanglements cut.

Illustrated Military Situations 7, RECONNAISSANCE ACTION, 

PLANNING 


1. Q. Is the purpose of reconnaissance solely to get information about 
the strength and supplies of the enemy? 


A, It’s more than that. Terrain data is vital for tactics. 


2. Q. Anything else? 

A. Yes, counterreconnaissance is conducted to prevent the enemy 
from observing your own troops and positions. 


3. Q. Every decision of a commander, then, is dependent to a grea.t 
extent upon reconnaissance reports? 


A. Yes, it is. Therefore, natrols are sent from the command most 
constantly to probe enemy nosit ions. 


4. Q. What takes place before a patrol is sent out? 

A. The patrol must be briefed. The mission can be general or it 
can be specific. Some patrol actions are actually combat 
actions.

1. Q. I imagine patrols start out when it is dark? 

A. Tes, quite often. They start out through a hedgehog in the wire 
entanglement. 

2. Q. What can they utilize to advance under cover? 

A. Defilades such as hills, river banks, and draws are good. 

3. Q. What must they avoid? 

A. Contact and skirmish with the enemy. And good scouts will not 
stumble accidently into enemy hidden oositions. 

4. Q. What are some easily observed movements of the enemy? 

A. Well, convoys of vehicles and columns of troops can be observed 
even without binoculars. Quite often, no attempts are made to 
conceal them. 

5. Q. Well camouflaged positions and materiel are difficult to spot, 

aren't they? 

A. That's right, ^hat's the purpose of camouflage.

1. Q. Can* t a lot of reconnaissance be done by planes? 

A. Quite a lot. But, there are some things you can't detect. 

2. Q. All large enemy movements and locations of depots are reported 

to higher headquarters, aren't they? 


A. Yes, the orders are issued and the Air Force goes into 
action. 


3. Q. Modern wars couldn't be fought without air support, could they? 


A. That's for sure. Bombers and fighters are utilized the most. 
They take off from air bases and from air strips. 


4. Q. What do they do?

A. It can aid interdiction fire of the artillery by constant air

7. Q. If your Air Force is inferior, air defense must he difficult. 


A. Yes, in this case, movements must he made at night without 
lights. 


8. Q. What can ground troops do against fighters? 

A. Heavy machine gun fire is about the extent. Hits are made 

accidently, though. Reconnoitering observation planes can he

Dialogue 19* Military Subjects and Situations 

Illustrated Military Situations 9* BIG .ATTACK INITIATED, 

MAPPING- THE OPERATION 


1. Q. What does the staff at Division Headquarters do when planning 
a big operation? 


A. The first thing is to make an estimate of the situation. 

2. Q. Reconnaissance reports are phoned in^for this, aren’t they? 

A. Not always. In many cases, classified reports and secret orders 
are coded and carried by courier. 


3. Q. What is important in taking the offensive? 


A. To take the enemy by surprise is a big factor in success. How¬ 
ever, it is very difficult to make a concentration of forces 
without enemy observation. 


4. Q. Doesn’t an attack in one sector affect the battle situation 
along the entire front? 


A. Of course. Therefore, when such an attack is decided upon, it 
takes priority over everything else.

A, Yes, quite often. By combining a number of photo maps, and 
making a wide coverage of sectors, it is possible to obtain 
much information. 


2. Q. This, no doubt, aids greatly in preparatory fire. 


A. It certainly does and especially if you have fire superiority. 


3. Q. The base of fire supporting the attacking units is all'important, 
isn't it? 


• -'i A, Attack is impossible without artillery support, 

♦ 


4, Q. What is the most important thing in carrying out combat orders?

THE ASSAULT 


1. Q. What are factors in the approach march from the assembly area 
to the line of departure? 


A. Sneed and control with adequate security. 


2. Q. When marching fire is opened up from the attack position and 
infantry units advance, how is liaison maintained? 


A. As much as possible by telephone and walkie talkie. When 
equipment is destroyed, then by runners. 


3. Q. When the assault starts, does the artillery and air support end? 

A. No, they continue their supoort. If the wind is right, a smoke 
screen is laid, mortar fire on machine gun nests is called for, 
and the dive bombers harass enemy reinforcements being sent up. 


4. Q. What does Division Headquarters have to watch for when attacks 
start? 


A. Attacking units must not be canalized, and counter attacks must 
be defended against.

Can preparatory fire destroy fortifications like ‘bunkers,

A. Not if they are well constructed. 


6. Q,. Does the infantry have to attack these after going through wire 

entanglement belts? 


A. Yes, by close combat. Flame throwers are used against pill 

boxes, and often grenades are thrown into them through embrasures. 


7. Q. Is an attack over when the front line enemy has been destroyed 
or captured? 


A. No, for an attack to be successful, it must be followed by 
exploitation.

Illustrated Military Situations 10, THE BIG- ATTACK IN NULL SWING 


1 . Q. Do the engineers build ponton bridges across rivers at night 
before an attack? 


A. Yes. Because even night affords only a little concealment, 
bridges are often built under enemy fire. 


2. Q. I guess you have to send good units in to hold a bridgehead. 


A. Yes, that's right, because the bridgehead must be held at all 
cost, and the casualties are often high, too. 


3. Q. Do all infantry units jump off together from the line of depart¬ 
ure for the assault? 


A. No, some units are always held in reserve.

of departure deploy and advance simultaneously?

Illustrated Military Situations 12, BREAKING- THROUGH, TACTICS 


1. Q. I feel that warfare and tactics have changed from ancient times. 


A. The size and speed of operations have changed, but the basic 
tactics have not. 


2. Q. What are the basic tactics? 


A. Frontal attack and envelopments. However, frontal attacks are 
rare unless there is vastly superior armor. 


3. Q. Is the first step of envelopments to breakthrough the enemy line? 


A. Yes. It is not possible to execute any type of envelopment 
without a breakthrough. 


4. Q. But when you mass fire at a certain point to nrenare for a 

breakthrough, won’t the enemy be able to strengthen that posi¬

A. Yes, they can, therefore, if there is preparatory fire, it is 

usually along the whole line. .And holding attacks are initiated 
simultaneously with the main attack. 


5. Q. A single envelopment on the right or left flank would seem to "be 
the simplest, wouldn’t it? 


A. Yes, it is, and furthermore, if you wish to execute a double 
envelopment, it becomes necessary to weaken your center, and 
there is danger of enemy attack. 


6. Q. I suppose encirclement would require even more superiority of 
forces and artillery fire. 


A. Yes, definitely. However, in turning movements with an element 
of surprise, you can economize forces to some extent.

FOLLOWING UP 


What are considerations in a general bre ak through? 


It must he preceded by intensive bombing of the enemy rear. 


With what specific objectives? 


To destroy military targets like railheads and industrial 
installations. 


Under what circumstances do you destroy cities? 


We destroy cities, when we want to lower the morale of the enemy, 
both military and civilian. 


Do you use special types of bombs on cities? 


Not necessarily. But incendiary bombs are effective against 
wooden buildings. 


If the enemy cannot be destroyed, he must be pursued. Is that 
right?

A.

A. They will set up road blocks, demolish everything of logistic 
value, and prevent the main force from being outflanked. 


7. Q. The combat trains must work day and night to keep up with advance 
units. Isn’t that right? 


A. Yes, especially if the advance units are mechanized. 

8. Q. In the breakthrough, what do they do about equipment maintenance 
that cannot be performed by drivers? 


A. It is usually abandoned, but some equipment can be saved by 
cannibalizing.

Illustrated Military Situations 13» SEA CONVOY, THE FLEET 


1. Q. Joint operations require tremendous planning and coordination, 
don't they? 


A. Yes, joint operations involve terrific organization. 


2. Q. Don't some campaigns involve a series of task force operations? 


A. Yes, and on top of that, alternate plans must be prepared because 
the battle situation changes. 


3. Q. Doesn't the port where the army task force board the transport 
have to be quite distant from the battle zone? 


A. Usually out of range of air attack. And the port must have 
extensive facilities. 


4. Q. Do they bring that task force back from the front and reorganize 
them at these ports after the campaign is over? 


A. Yes. Then when those troops are called to go on another campaign, 
they embark on transports and clear the port.

A. Of course, these are escorted and urotected by the Navy. 


6. Q. Does the fleet leave from the same port? 

A. Not necessarily. The naval "base for joint operations is often 
different. A joint operation force is organized at a staging 
area. 


7. Q,. What constitutes the core of naval task forces? 


A. The aircraft carriers. The battleships, cruisers and destroyers 
protect the aircraft carriers. 


8. Q. How long can these naval task forces cruise? The supply oroblem 
seems impossible. 


A. Naval task forces can cruise for as long as necessary. A

Illustrated Military Situations 13» S3A CONVOY, JOINT OPERATIONS 


1. Q. The greatest danger to a convoy is probably enemy submarines, 
isn't it? 


A. Yes, every precaution is taken against them. Sonar is utilized 
to detect them and blackout at night for concealment. 


2. Q,. Is there any defense against torpedoes that submarines fire? 


A. Very little. Only destroyers can maneuver, and only if the 
torpedoes are fired from a distance in daylight. 


3. Q. On the other hand, if submarines are attacked by destroyers 
dropping depth charges, they can do little, can they? 


A,. Even then, submarines have been known to escape such attacks.

Yes, there certainly are. Dive bombers will

even destroy thera-

5. Q,. Don't patrol aircraft from the carriers get lost when the task 

force is proceeding at full speed? 


A. Yes, despite radio navigation they do get lost. 


6. Q. Suppose the sea is rough when the air patrol returns.

Oil is spread over the waves and everything done to make it

Illustrated Military Situations 14, UNSUCCESSFUL BEACH LANDING 


1. Q. Is it possible to tell the complete defenses of a beach from 
aerial photographs? 


A. No, it's not. Dugouts and emplacements can be concealed. 
Obstacles and wire entanglements can be placed under water. 


2. Q. Amphibious operations require close coordination by navy, and 
ground forces, don't they? 


A. Yes, until the landing, bombardment by naval guns and naval 
aircraft is conducted. Smoke screens are laid, too. 


3. Q. The landing force debarks into landing boats, operated by 
sailors, is that right? 


A. Yes, and the beachmaster is also a naval officer. 


4. Q. However, after the troops land, to secure the beachhead, what 
kind of support can they get?

A. They can't get very much. The landing units have to fight, 
maintaining liaison between themselves. 


5. Q. Important beaches are well mined, aren't they? 

A. Yes, therefore, the engineers have to clear them with mine 
detectors. 


6. Q. Amphibious operations seem to be extremely dangerous operations. 

A. They are indeed. If the enemy maintains fire control and fire 
discipline, no one could withstand the fire. 


7. Q,. If casualties are too great, won't a retrograde movement be 

ordered? 


A. No, amphibious operations are made knowing that casualties are 
heavy. 


8. Q. Won't entire landing units be destroyed? 


A. If this happens and plans for securing a beachhead fail, the 
operation will have to be called off.

and perform first aid.

A. A collecting station might he established to accommodate them, 
but there well be no clearing station.

Dialogue 29, Military Subjects and Situations 

Illustrated Military Situations 15, PARACHUTE TROOPS 

(PARATROOPS) 


1, Q. Is tactical air support of ground forces important? 


A. Yes, it is extremely important. 


2. Q. How about airborne troops? 

A. They are also important. Airborne troops are especially useful 
for surprise actions. 


3. Q. What else must be determined in addition to the objective of an 
airborne operation? 


A. A drop zone for one. 


4. Q. When the troop carrier aircraft approach the drop zone, how are 
they guided? 


A. The initial point is decided upon before departure. They are 

guided to that point by various methods. They make final adjust¬ 
ment there and head toward the drop zone. 


5. Q. After the paratroops drop, what do they do first? 


A. They gather their equipment and assemble immediately, and then 
attack their objective.

6. Q.. How is liaison and communications with Division Headquarters 

maintained? 


A. They communicate by radio. If an airhead cannot be established, 
they maintain supply by airlift. 


7. Q. How do they communicate between the airborne units? 


A. Airborne units use walkie talkie, field telegraph and field 
telephones, and other signal equipment. The troops take the 
walkie talkies down with them, but the telegraphic equipment and 
field telephones are dropped from the planes. 


8. Q. Do you mean they even drop telegraphic equipment and stretch 
field wire? 

A. Of course. In any situation communication is vital. In battle 
areas, assault wire is used in place of field wire. 


9. Q. Wouldn't helicopters be useful in airborne operations? 


A. Yes, they are very useful for evacuating the wounded and trans¬ 
porting men and supplies. However, they are easy targets, so 
they cannot be used if enemy antiaircraft artillery and air 
force are strong.

Dialogue 30» Military Subjects and Situations 
Illustrated Military Situations 16, SPY 


1. Q. Is security important in wartime? 


A. Yes, it is. Therefore, the work of security agencies increases 
many tens of times during wartime. 


2. Q. Which is it necessary to guard more for the defense of the 
country, military or industrial information? 


A. It is necessary to guard both. If either military information 
or vital industrial information should fall into the hands of 
the enemy, the war.might be lost* 


3. Q. If secret documents are stolen, can't counter measures be taken 
to prevent enemy use of that information? 


A. Yes. That's why, instead of stealing documents, agents take 
photographs of them.

A. The array checks them at collecting stations and evacuates them 
to the rear. 

2. Q. Does the army feed refugees? 

A. No, but the Red Gross sometimes does at its field kitchens. 

3. Q. In many cases, isn’t the route of military advance and axis of 

evacuation along the same roads? 

A. It is and it causes a lot of trouble. 

4. Q. Do enemy troops infiltrate masquerading as refugees? 

A. Not too often, because they will be treated as spies if cantured. 

5. Q. Are guerillas composed of regular troops?

Illustrated Military Situations 18, FINAL ASSAULT 


1. Q. Don't they form special units to assault certain objectives? 


A. Yes, they do. They form regimental combat teams. 

2. Q. A regiment seems small for making a big attack, doesn't it? 


A. No, because they act as a covering force for the main force, which 
makes the main attack. 


3. Q. I imagine fighting in the streets of a city is different from 
ordinary battle conditions. 

A. Yes. It's quite different in that there is a variety of conceal¬ 
ments, and snipers can fire from roofs and windows. 


4. Q. Soldiers like to find souvenirs in evacuated cities, don't they? 


A. Yes, but they have to be very careful. There are all kinds of 
booby traps with clever trip wires. 


5. Q,. Heavy tanks with their big weapons can probably be driven right 

up to buildings occupied by enemy troops, can't they?
